Do you think Obamacare is a good policy?

The financial system is built on the assumption that money is spent; poor people spend all their money, rich people don't.
And one could argue that as the government, it's your responsibility to take care of the little guy even if only to maintain stability in your country.
It directly solves so many problems, it just seems impossible to pass up on to me.
I wouldn't and neither would the thousands of politicians who argued for progressive tax systems - which are used in almost every first-world country - in the past.The question was whether a progressive taxation system is actually fair and I think you'd have a hard time arguing that people who work harder and make more money need to be taxed more.

That is pretty mindblowing to me.
Btw, if a business cannot pay their workers a livable wage, then that business should cease to exist, and give room for other businesses that can!

The cost of living varies wildly depending on where you are. By passing this law, you may be putting people in poorer, rural areas out of a job.
